Partnering with UPSC

By sponsoring our signature events, you have the opportunity to not only visibly support diversity and inclusion but also to make a tangible difference in the lives of LGBTQ+ individuals. 

UPSC is a leading voice in the LGBTQ+ community that fills crucial gaps in services. Our initiatives include providing peer counseling and health support, conducting advocacy training, offering a speakers bureau for organizations and academic institutions, providing safe spaces for gathering and networking, and hosting inclusive and affirming events. 

As an all volunteer organization, you can be assured that every dollar of your contribution goes directly towards supporting our programs, events, and advocacy efforts to ensure that the Upstate is a welcoming place for all.
